GOLD- Blind Berzerker SILVER-Obsidian

Chaos Dwarfs OnlinePresents

Well, as mentioned in my rst post on theforum, I accidentally stumbled onto theGolden Hat contest when I was search-ing for good Chaos Dwarf material anddecided to participate. The actual ash ofinspiration was linking the absurdly highchaos Dwarf hats and organ pipes, in termsof physical appearance. This idea came tome when I woke up in the middle of thenight. I got up, went into the hobby roomto fetch my sketchbook and doodled theidea in there in a couple of minutes, thenwent back to sleep. As I was working on aChaos Dwarf Blood Bowl team and hadalready gotten some miniatures off Ebayfor that project, they were the obviousstarting point. So I spent a good amountof time looking them over, taking in thesignature Chaos Dwarf details and style.

The Musician, as I envisaged him, wouldnot be easily converted form an exist -ing miniature, so I took the plunge andventured to sculpt it from scratch. Thiswas my very rst full sculpt, and I read upon sculpting techniques a lot beforehandand during the process. From bendingpaperclips into the framework to the nalresult took me approximately one weeksworth of evenings, spread over a t wo weekperiod. I then painted the little bugger onthe very last day; Deadline Sunday, start-ing in the morning and nishing him earlyin the evening, giving me the opportunityto take pictures at leisure. Still, therewere some areas, particularly the lack ofblacklining, shoddy dags on the chimneyand some other stuff, I have corrected sincethen. I was mightily surprised that I won,as I had not expected it in the least; thecompetition was closely fought, but all thesweeter the reward has been...

At rst I must say anything or this thlet it alone or a wthen ater two weekstarted thinking ab

and pictured a musdering the battleesome strangely maninstrument, Daemmaybe? I then did sketches to get somvisualized. I had twtions worked out, oa backpack with a coming out like anthe one I eventuallor, the boombox I chose the one I wbuild I rummaged my bitzboxes and qcame up with all coneeded and startedAll in all I think I hours sculpting aning and another tepaint him. I really he turned out bothand painting wise aact that he is not alike your standard but looks more likespecial character. Gsioned him like somdering prophet, stabattleelds praisingand boosting the mthe troops and demthat o the enemy. To Hashut he calledthink that sums himwell!

Te basic idea behind my entrywas to make a model I eltwould t in with the conceptart weve seen o the Warham-mer Forge Chaos Dwars. Oneo the bits looks like a champi-on o sorts, so that was the oneI went with. I mentioned onthe orum that I had changedmy idea, and Cornixt asked iit was going to have a backpacksteam horn thing. It wasntgoing to, but I thought about itand it seemed a good idea.Te model was sculpted andcast, incase I n eeded more.Te bits or the backpack wererom a dreadnought, the dwarwarriors regiment and a plaguemonk fail.

are alleged to be able to eat anything, seeminglyare able to reproduce rom nothing more thana bash on the head, and exist in as toundingvariety. Tey have been described as a orce onature and have been responsible or many othe signicant events o the Warhammer worldshistory, rom the destruction o Strigos, to theunication o both the Empire and Bretonnia,

to the destruction o the province o Solland andthe deeat o Archaon. Tere is no race that doesnot have signicant fu about a near disastersuered at their hands and they are one o themost popular armies to get started with. Tereare even rumours o there being orcs beyond thestars

Simply put, as a Chaos Dwar general you needto know the capabilities o the O&G army sothat you can deeat them and add their distinc-tiveness to your own. As has become somewhatexpected rom me, Ill give an overview o how Isee the O&G armys overall strengths and weak-nesses, then go into the troop types, and ollowup with a ew tactical suggestions or dealingwith them. Troughout the article, Ill inject aew comments on the inclusion o some o theslaves into our own armies.

Te troubling truth is that there is no such thingas a typical O&G army there are more trooptypes and hero permutations than should belegal, and nobody combines them in the sameway, and rare is the player who doesnt alter their

own army composition requently. Tis leads toone dening characteristic o this army vari-ety. Tere is rankly, no right or wrong way todo this army, and there is a tool or every need rom cheap throwaway troops to solid inantryto elite inantry, excellent ast cavalry, good me-dium/heavy cavalry, war machines, cheap s pellcasters and rock solid ghting characters. Any-one trying to guess what an O&G general willbring to the party is just asking or a headache,provided that player has a decent enough sizedcollection.

Tis leads into the other dening characteristic oan O&G army unpredictability. Even their owgenerals cannot predict what they will do with agreat certainty. Some o their troops may decidethat they would rather ght amongst themselvesthan deal with you or they may be inused withchild-like enthusiasm to bash your head in and ga substantial boost in speed. Others may becom

distracted by the purty fowers and not move.Sometimes they may use dierent attacking style in the same combat. Depending on the dice, may be acing an unusually dedicated and dangeous orce, or one that is tough or its own generashit out o the deployment zone.

Leaders o Da BandFollowing the pattern set out by every other armthere are two very broad categories o characters ghting and magical, divided into Lord andHero categories or the powerul and less power-ul. Now, while most races make do with a singcategory or each, O&G have a multiplicity, or major subraces o the O&G army. In descendinorder o power they are: Black Orcs, Orcs, SavaOrcs, Goblins, and Night Goblins. While ew wdispute that the Black Orcs belong at the top o heap with their high weapon skill, strength, tougness and their ability to carry a multitude o weaons at no additional cost, while quelling animosiin their ollowers and driving them orward youmay have some questions about the other rankinDont worry, I get to my reasons in a moment ani you disagree, too bad, Im the one writing the

article.

Black Orc characters are amongst the most poweul combat characters in the Warhammer world,and are the equal o our own Chaos Dwar Lorda ght. Orcs and savage orcs are slightly less ca-pable ghters and leaders, but are let down by thinability to prevent animosity in their ollowers. Orc combat characters can inspire their troops tget into combat by Callin da WAAAAAAGH!at the beginning o a turn those units within tcommand radius o the general may surge orwaup to 6 and then they can move, declare charge

Orc generals will mitigate this by either keeping the bigunit o trolls inside the generals leadership bubble, evenbetter i the Battle Standard Bearer can be close by aswell. Your mission

Giants big, no armour, moderate toughness.Consider them targets or the boltthrowers and archers. Te giantsattacks are not particularlydevastating but a good rollwhen hes jumping up anddown, or i it decides toyell and bawl, means thatwe may end up running.

Im going to ignore squigherds and snotling pumpwagons or two reasons 1. Im lazy, and 2. inover 15 years o play-ing Ive ought exactly1 squig herd and

never aced a pumpwagon.

Army wide rulesand eaturesFlu would haveyou believe thatorcs are so eager or ascrap that i they arentalready involved in ascrap that they will ghtamongst themselves inlieu o getting up closeand personal with yourtroops. Te bane oour own slave troops,animosity is somethingto exploit when we ace it.Tis is the time to get theblunderbuss troops up closeto maximize potential hitsand let fy just do it astbecause that whole unpre-dictable thing will comeinto play and next turn

youll probably endup with a orc in yourace.

Greenskins are likeus in a lot o ways,one o which is their potential to not panic when part otheir army legs it past them. Goblins will not cause orcsto panic, and orcs wont cause black orcs to panic, whilegiants dont care i the rest o the army suddenly remem-bers a pie in the oven or an important phone call. Tisis important to remember, as a smart O&G general canminimize the risk o panic by alternating units o orcs

ity to remain ast cavalry i we pick up shields.

A pseudo cavalry type can be ound with thesquig riders. Able to skirmish and coming withan unpredictable charge distance they can do anumber on large ormations with a high strengthattack.

Goblin war machines can be deadly. Bolt throw-ers are slightly more expensive than ours, but arestill cheap enough or many generals to spam.Stone throwers are better with the new indirectre rules and the Doom diver is almost as accu-rate, due to the pilots ability to redirect himselback on target. Our Wolriders will do nastythings to war machines, so send them round or avisit. Start with the bolt throwers and work yourway to the stone throwers and then the doom div-ers, or alternately, the doom divers and nally thestone throwers. Either way, take out the reliablebolt throwers rst, preerably while deployed in asingle line to reduce casualties.

Specialist/Oddball troopsSnotlings are a kind o swarm, but unlike aswarm, dont take extra wounds i they lose com-bat. Tey have generally pitiul combat skills andwill take a beating when ghting a ranked unit.At present, they will be used to redirect our unitsand expose our fanks to something that wishesus ill. Dont take the bait. Let them come to us,and theyll break on us like china cups in the tod-dler room.

Chariots are inantry support units, capable otipping the balance o combat in avour o theeral slaves. While no longer subject to autode-struct rom high strength hits, they are still vul-nerable to being wounded. Tey are also vulner-able to being damaged on dicult terrain, so usethat to guard the fanks o our units i possible,as having a chariot in the fank and a ranked unitto the ront is no un or us. As may be expected,orc chariots are a much tougher proposition butthe goblin ones are aster and able to be taken ingreater numbers

rolls monstrous inantry w ith the ability toeither lay down a multitude o high Strength at-tacks or a single S5 hit that will ignore our amourwith acidic vomit. Evidently, they were partyingwith Delta House the night beore. Teir abilityto regenerate makes them hard to take down, butfaming attacks will stop that rom happening, sothe Banner o Eternal Flame would be useul, aswould the multitude o faming attacks availableto our army in general, i we know that Teyhave a ---- roll. Te downside to trolls, otherthan their rather hety cost is their stupidity, aug-mented by a lamentably low leadership. Cunning

Counter tacticsWhen acing an O&G army I recommend settinjust outside o 24 away rom the eral slaves. Iget the rst turn dont move. As the O&G armdoes not have a decent ranged capability, they wadvance on you. Use our war machines, and mitroops to bring the large enemy ormations dowto reasonable size beore contact. Tey will comto you and depending on how you deploy may tat least 2 to 3 turns beore they are in position tocharge. Use this time to your advantage.

Te judicious use o our fyers can tip the battle our avour. error, when used against an army wlow leadership can be a game winner, as the size O&G army oten means that many units are ouo the generals leadership bubble. ake advantathe generally low leadership value o their troopscause them to fee. Opening up gaps in their balines gives us something to exploit and any time the O&G general spends re-establishing his line

time or you to be shooting him.

errain can play a big part in battles anchor thfanks o key units with terrain that he cant explor his own purposes woods will do against chaots, but you need ences, walls or buildings i yoend up acing an inantry horde. Te terrain wilikely yield one or two lines o advance or the bunits use them to your advantage. Tese areasshould be covered by war machines to annihilatethose units that choose to advance through yourbeaten zone. I you dont have war machines, usblunderbusses. Buildings are also a potential keystone in your strategy a unit o Blunderbusses multi-story building can be ridiculously hard to

and goblins, with units like giants, or black orcs mixed into stop panic cold.

O&G are not known or their manuacturing skills.Goblins may be considered to be clever, but they stillhavent gured out how to make heavy armour or any-body but the Black Orcs, even Orc Warbosses are limitedto light armour so dont expect Orcs to have much inthe way o an armour save, they make up or it by beingtougher though, so this needs to be considered, but ingeneral, i we can hit it, we can wound it.

Orc and Goblin tacticsTe lack o control inherent in an army that may justdecide to start ghting amongst i tsel, or to charge or-ward unsupported leads many an O&G general to adopta simple strategy the rontal attack. Simple, easy tobrie the troops on and requiring no special training it isthe primary choice o many generals. It is easy to deeatthough i applied stupidly, but a cunning orc general w illdo what he needs to get his troops into combat, whilenot leaving himsel vulnerable. Tis usually entails a

perunctory attempt at fanking usually with the wolriders. At other times an orc general will send the goblinsout rst to wear you down, knowing that i they breakand run, no one will care.

Te O&G army is not renowned or its staying poweras a result o its average to low leadership. Although thebetter ghters in the army wont care i the lesser troopsbreak and run, the inverse is not true. Do whateveryou can to beat the best troops in combat and stack thedeck in your avour to make them break and run theLore o Death spells to reduce leadership are quite useulhere. Te trick is not to go or the easy win against thegoblin units, but rather to take on and deeat the hordeo big uns with two choppas right next to them. I youcan win the combat or cause a panic test you can getpotentially get the lesser units on the fanks to book andrun, opening up a good sized gap in the lines or you toexploit.

Zhekdar watched the approaching caravanrom his position deep within the thick-et. Yes this was just so perect he almost

laughed out loud. A sound that would have beenlled with notes that deed the term joyul laugh-

ter that the humans were ond o. Just a bit moretime to let all o them le down into this dell andthe trap could be sprung. He eased back awaydeeper into the thicket and exited out the back.He turned to give the waiting Hobgoblin bossesand their lackeys another repeat o his orders. Nomoves and no noises rom any o them until hissignal, or hed be using the insi de o their worth-less skins to clean the bottoms o his boots, whilethey were still living in them. He let them there,sure o their compliance, to go prepare himsel.Te Wolriders were terried o him as he hadmade sure they were. erried but loyal as muchas creatures like them could be loyal. erriedinto obedience but not into insensate stupidity.Tey knew that he did reward well and that ailurewas still ailure, but that complete obedience wasnot punished unjustly. Something that rom theother lords theyd served was not a consideration,not like the random spontaneous unwarrantedviolence any o them could and did suer at thehands o the erstwhile leader o this raid.

In amongst the oremost wagons trudged SerHeinrache, and as with all the others, he was eagerto arrive at the Dwarven Enclave. Teir guide hadsaid not too ar now in typical dwar grunessthe last time he had asked, which could meansoon or a somewhat greater length o time thanthat. He brought his thoughts away rom whenand back to why and why was prots. Te oppor-tunity to make those prots and the opportunitiesthat the prots themselves would open the wayor. It was this constant planning and having allthe possible options thought through that hadmade Heinrache such a successul merchant.Te journey had been relatively easy almost an

extended and oversized picnic, but travelling omajor ways had never been to his liking and movinginto this hinterland area even less so. But the guideseemed to know his way and it was to be expectedthat dwars wouldnt have set up anywhere reallyclose to human settlements. Tey liked mountainsand rough country and such, li ked it much betterthan man usually did. Te enclave that his guidesclan had made or themselves was only temporaryor semi permanent as their needs may turn out tobe. For how long depended on the ways and roadsurther south becoming useable again ater the unex-pected early season o fooding that had caught a loto people unprepared.

His wagons and the others in the extended cavalcadewere spreading out now and all moving orward to

get out o the dust o those in ront as they rolledover the hill and down i nto this meadow. Maybetheyd camp earlier tonight? it looked like an easyspot to bivouac in. Originally it had been only himand his goods, along with the beer merchant withhis ully laden wagon and a dozen labourers as perthe original requirements o the dwar. O the -teen heavily laden wagons in this bloody great circus,only three were his, one the blacksmiths and anotherwas the beer merchant, one the attached guardssupplies but all the others were pedros-come-latelywhod come tagging along on his coat-tails. Teyhad all spied on his preparations and then done theirown, and then jumped onto the bandwagon aterhed arranged everything wi th the dwar. Spoilers allthey were, hoping to take a cut o this hard earnedtrading opportunity out rom under him. Well hisgoods were ar better quality, he had bought upand gathered all the best he could beore word hadgotten out and he knew that dwars were alwayspernickety traders and very discerning o quality.And knowing dwars always had superior weaponsand armour available he had borrowed heavily andbrought a large stash o gold as well. Denitely notrinkets would be coming rom him but the con-ounded dwar had ruined it. Him stating that therewas plenty o gold and gems to be had had broughtout lots o would be entrepreneurs with thoughtso getting rich i they were lucky. Tough the smithand his wagon, hal taken up with its travelling orgeand tools were a very late addition arranged by thedwar. Maybe he hadnt known there was one avail-able that could ll his needs until late.

Heinrache mentally and visually took stock o histhree wagons. One o them was the amilies travel-ling home, but it too was laden with goods, but

mainly with ood and other supplies. No needto take up good space rom trading s tock in theother wagons. His wie and daughter enjoyed itscomorts at night but oh no not him, he had beenevicted by his wie, to make room or a riend.He had been dismayed by his wies decision tobring the amily but could not say no. She alwaysknew about his trading plans as her organisationalskills were a part o his success but someone hadrumoured that the enclave had whole dwar ami-lies, dwar women and children no less. Nobodythey knew had ever seen any beore ever and thiswas their chance to do so and his wie had beenvery adamant about going. When she had blurtedout to the dwar that they would all love to comealong and meet his amily he had looked dumb-struck or a long moment and then had said theywere all very welcome to come along and meet hiswhole amily.She must have boasted to her riends o what shewas going to see and do. Her riends o course

were the wives o the other merchants and it hadall run out o his control rom there on. Laterthe seemingly bemused dwar had declined hisrequest to reuse there pleas and told the gatheredcrowd o vultures that they could all come and allwould be welcomed the same.

All the hub-bub had attracted the attention othe Earl o Sandrakes household. Te Earl wasaway at present, o to the north with the bulk ohis cavalry and guards. Goblin raiders had beenmaking a nuisance o themselves somewhere upthere and the earl had gone to the assistance o hisneighbours at the behest o the Baron. Te earlseldest son had as yet received no reports o anyraids or problems in our area or near our intendeddestination and he had summised that it must bedue to the new dwar presence out there. Evenso he insisted on sending an extended squad omilitia with us to guarantee the saety o so manyo his people. His younger brother, Falaren,had volunteered to lead the expedition as he wasnow calling it. Te result was that now the youngnoble was here accompanying the caravan butalso quite oten his daughter. He was the only one

normally mounted but could usually be oundstrolling with Millein. Tat particular opportunitywould have to be managed careully and i at theend o this trip a very eligible marriage did occur,it would be the icing on the cake or his amilysortunes this year.

Teir guide the dwarven trader Kethdah (henever could say that right) was back walking withMillein, in tandem with Falaren as usual. Prob-ably both were being pestered by the excitablegirl again. Te lad o course did not mind at

all, considering the young beauties charms, and dwar kept taking everything in his stride quite aably. At the last village they had passed the dwahad suggested to them all that they hire some mlabourers rom the locals in the village as the travling would be getting harder and that it was the such place they would see beore getting there. Hthoughts turned back to planning, snippets o inmation hed gleaned rom the other merchants othe days had given him much to think about andmust sort it all out or any advantages he could gi he was to gain the upper hand in the up comintrading.

A crunch echoed through the clearing and Millescream pierced the air. Heinrache looked over tothe dwar dragging his daughter away rom undeFalarens collapsing horse, his hammer drawn. Hwas saving her rom being crushed but what hashappened? Te horse ell down limply, trappingswearing young noble who was scrambling to dr

his sword. Heinrach realised that Falaren wasnt ing his horse or something else, his anger was died solely at the dwar as he nally got his sword and swung it madly at Kethdah. Te dwar knocthe sword away with a simply twitch o his hammthen kicked the noble unconscious with one bloWhy? and why was he holding the still screaminMillein o the ground by her hair! What was goion here?

Te dwar slowly turned a ull circle looking at tall and pointing his war hammer at us. Stay whyou are, surrender and you will live! His wordseasily broke through the noises o the other traders and the screams and cries o the shocked amlies. Te Militia Sergeant Hanseln charged, yellinsomething and thrust his spear at the dwar but dwar batted it away with a lazy downward hal cblock then thunderously drove the hammer orwlike a piston into the sergeants body as the veterasoldier continued to go barrelling in. Te brokenbody landed with a clatter in the stunned silenceHe looked over at the conused squad o militiamand spoke again, Lay down your arms and you live, Do not and rst your lordling dies, then heand then you all. With that dozens o howling w

with goblins on their backs burst out rom the traround us and rom behind us back over the hilluntil they surrounded us all.

None o us tried to escape at rst, we were toostunned. And we didnt think about it at all aterlet the wolves tear apart and devour Falarens horand the sergeant. Teir bodies were both gone iminutes leaving scraps that the wolves continuedsnap and snarl over. Tey pushed us all togethewith some o us being orced to drive the wagon

spear point and then they began herding us along ine direction we had been going. A ew hours later, our

acks stinging rom the whips and our minds still notre what had beallen us, we came upon an encamp-ent hidden in a mountain oothill, with more dwars

nd a large metal contraption with cages on it. Tesewarves were more o his type and just like Te Betrayerey were dierent. Dierent rom the other dwars hed

nown and met beore now that he could see their once-as-a-guide with open eyes. Another dwar had emergedom a tent, dishevelled and drunk it looked. As it camewards us it bellowed orders to the others in a languageat was dwarven but not the dwarven he knew. Ordersat appeared to be ollowed only hal hearted i at all bye other dwars. It stomped up to the dwar obviously

emanding answers but the answers it got only seemedenrage him more. He was obviously trying to cowere dwar and it didnt happen. He got louder and theating replies seemed to make it worse and in his ury

e slapped the dwar. Tat hammer rose up rom wherehad been held unnoticed by his side and cracked upto the belligerent dwars chin, and then slammed back

own. Once to ell the raving brute and the next to slaym. Te dwar guards or warriors or whatever they weread looked on without liting a nger to help the leader.ur betrayer spoke something in that un-dwar language

nd the others barked something back and then all at oneey dropped to one knee with eyes down. Ater a mo-ent one o them snapped out an order as it rose then

owed to our betrayer. Te rest then rose and began toove about on their tasks. Te goblins and their wolves

ad dropped to their bellies in obeisance but did not riseth the dwars. Our betrayer now gave them some or-

ers and they leapt up with shrill cries and howls. Someayed to guard us but the majority went racing o backe way we came. All this meant nothing at rst but it became clearer over the days and weeks that ollowed.ethdah or whatever he was called had staged a coup. Allganised long beore he ever met with us. Te deerencee others showed him was obvious, not at all like whate had briefy seen them giving to the now dead leader.hekdar almost howled in elation as he elled Grob-am but restrained himsel. Te distant cousin that thean chies had lumbered him with had made mistaketer mistake since embarking on this mission. Hal oe creatures they had already captured had died romistreatment or due to Grobhams own cowardly killing

st. He had not risked his own skin in any o the priorirmishes so ar and he would have squandered ar toouch o this bounty i let alive. His cousin had believedhis unassailable right to do what he wanted, not what

as best or the clans. So he, Zhekdar the Scout, hadecided to make the dwarven raiders loyal to him or theood o the clan. Te poor showings o Grobhams leader-ip made things easier or the warriors to choose, easily

elped on by the strength o his will. Te breaking down the steam driven slave cart through stupid directionsnd shoddy maintenance had been the nal nail in hisn. Te loyalty o the Hobgoblins was easily gained

through applied pain and rewards. A conrontationwith Grobham over his actions would have hap-pened eventually, one way or another i not at a timeo his choosing.

Te wisdom o his clans sorcerer in sending hi m outto scout through the human lands and learn to tin with them had shown itsel to be very wise. Andlearn he had or he probably wouldnt have survived.He had given His Raiders orders beore he let, notto raid anywhere in the human area. Leave themunaware until his return. Tat had been his ordersand they had been ollowed to the letter. Now thathe had this prize secure, he sent the Hobgoblin wol-ers back to the village they had last passed through.Te village that now conveniently let with ar ewerdeenders, he sent them o as a reward, sent themto have some un and i they brought more humansback? well they knew him enough now to know hewould reward them even more.

Heinrache lamented his lot as the train o captives

plodded along. Long weeks o marching had broughtthem here, wherever here was. Te wretched condi-tion o other groups o captives that they passedappalled him and the wanton cruelty o those otherscaptors outstripped belie. Teir betrayer and histroopers did not seem to treat them so poorly andprotected them rom those who would. Te goblinhelpers were anatical about as well, as it was notworth their lives to damage us. Tey had been shownwhat would happen to them ater a wol had been letto stray to close and it had killed someone, he didntknow who it had been. Tey had pinned the wol srider down with stakes while the howling goblin wasstill very much alive and ordered the others to eathim starting at its eet. Tey still cued and whippedus i we didnt move quickly enough but they hadkept us ed and watered, the other groups lookedstarved and despondent with no lie or hope let intheir eyes.

Te meanings o lots o things had changed nowor Heinrache. Some becoming clear others not sowell. Tings like why one o the normally standoshdwars would have be delighted to have more andmore humans travelling with them. Why the black-

smith had been convinced to come along. His wagonwith its travelling orge, and those piles o fat ironstraps, and especially all o the chains that he couldt into his wagon. Te drag o the chains and man-acles weighing him down were a constant remindero where they had came rom. Te s ight o anotherbull headed image emblazoned on an edice broughtunderstanding as to why the dwar had steadastlyreused to listen to reason and change his mind whenhe insisted on drat horses instead o oxen to pull thewagons. Te story one o the militiamen had toldo the old dwar ur trapper in one o the taverns and

how he had suddenly gone homicidal upon seeing theirbetrayer. How he stopped drinking suddenly with a gasp-ing splutter. How he had surged towards the betrayerraising his axe and screaming YOU!!! YOU HERE!, NONEVER, YOU WILL DIE. He had told them o howthe alse dwar trader had reacted ater he had killed theold trapper, how the dwar had stated sel deence andthat it was a case o mistaken identity by the drunkenclansmen and a possible clan eud. No, now that wasrevealed to be the reaction o a real dwar recognising thismonster or what he was.

Heinrache looked out over the vista o a barren harshly litplain. t was broken and wracked by streams o lava andpollution and the distance hidden by gouts o steam andsmoke, and he thought on opportunities. Not many yetbut he was sure there would be some. He stared at thetowering ziggurats and at the sprawling outer areas. Savehis amily, yes he could, Escape, yes he would i it becamepossib le. Tey werent going to kill us. Tey wouldntlook ater us this well i they were. Kethdah had said, haleand whole they were worth ar more than all the others.

Yes there was hope. Healthy they could survive and hekept that hope close to his heart.

A simple plan, Zhekdar thought, yes it had been a simpleplan. Convince a ew humans to come with him andre-supply him (and unbeknownst to them his units oraiders) and then make them his slaves into the bargain.It had all been working quite smoothly to begin with.But the greed o these creatures when gold was men-tioned had utterly surprised him. More and more hadbegged to join in, without any eort on his part. Teyhad brought along mounds o valuables and other goods.Tey didnt know that the most valuable items would bethemselves. Tey had even brought along the shacklesand tools o their own imprisonment, all on the promise

and lure o the gold to be had at the end. Almohundred slaves, the other booty and the deliciohorses, nothing would be wasted. All would betaken to his clans holdings in as good a conditias he could make possible as per his lords wishe

His amilys ortunes had continued to rise eversince the old sorcerer had told them o his visioand at his pursuant lords orders the clan had acon it. Strong healthy sacrices, with their mindunbroken beore they meet his God. Not theweak and broken semblances o living beings thother clans oten gave. Beings that still held reand hope within their hearts and souls, these wthose that god would crush and devour. Tat what Hashut had wanted and that is what his chad given him. Hashuts avours had kept fowiback to his clan in blessings and strength. And they would be able to oer up more to him agaTese humans did not know it yet but the goldthat they would receive would be the bli nding o Hashuts presence as he embraces them and t

eternal servitude to him in his realm as their soorm the carpet beneath his hooves.

Zhekdar pondered more on his uture and concluded with the thought that maybe this time hhad been too clever and ar too lucky. Luck otwill suce a Dwar i his courage holds. No hedecided, it was not his luck but the Blessings oHashut which avoured him this time. Te Claexpectations to do better next time, however unspoken they may be, would always be there. Hown expectations also would always be there, aleast until he ever dared to ail in his lords de-mands.

The Black Orc Rebellion

he Black Orcs rst appeared in the OldWorld during the time o Sigmar, pushingtheir way through the Worlds Edge Moun-

tains rom the Dark Lands and leading a Green-skin invasion into the lands that would becomethe Empire (Orcs & Goblins, 2006). Te pitchedbattles with the Black Orcs were some o the mostdesperate that the allied Human tribes and Dwarsaced. From that point orward, Black Orcs were astaple o Orc & Goblin armies in the Old World,and Black Orc Warbosses like Grimgor Ironhidehave played a large part in the story o Warham-mer Fantasy.

Black Orcs are the largest and toughest o theirkind, with skin that varies rom dark green toblack. Teir terric size aords them the bestequipment and the ability to quell the squabblingo their smaller Greenskin cousins with a sternlook or throaty growl. On a battleeld, BlackOrcs create a semblance o discipline in the sea ogreen, directing the Waaagh! owards theenemy lines. But where did the BlackOrcs came rom in the rst place?

Unnatural OriginsTe earliest reerence to Black Orcs comes romthe 1985 Citadel Journal. Here the Black Orcsare established as the biggest and toughest oOrc species due to a Darwinian selective breed-ing program known as runt noshing thesmallest Black Orcs were cannibalized, ensur-ing only the biggest and strongest would breed and inbreeding. Cannibalization remaineda part o the Black Orc backstory when War-hammer advanced, but in subsequent books adierent picture o Black Orcs emerges as thesorcerous products o the Chaos Dwars.

Chaos Dwars have been noted as being ongenerally good terms with the Greenskin racesalmost as long as they have been distinct as arace; the Battle Bestiary (1992) remarks on howthe Chaos Dwars taught the Orc tribes met-alsmithing and that Chaos Dwar Mages wereinvolved in the creation o the Greenskins mostcompli- cated war machines and arcanedevices. White Dwar Presents:

Chaos Dwars (1994) urther expanded thisrelationship, turning Chaos Dwars into a raceo slavers that alternately dealt with and preyedupon the Greenskin tribes o the Dark Lands.Here, and in Orcs & Goblins (1996), the BlackOrcs are presented as products o a sorcerousbreeding program designed to produce a stron-ger, tougher slave-caste that could survive theharsh environment o the Dark Lands and ruletheir lesser cousins.

Te creation o the Black Orcs rom normalOrcs using selective breeding and magic hasobvious parallels in the creation o the Uruk-Haiby the wizard Saruman in Te Lord o the Rings.Te Uruk-Hai o Isengard and Mordor wereblack-skinned, larger and stronger than theirsmaller cousins, whom they bullied and berated.It is likely that industrial Isengard provided theinspiration or Rick Priestlys interpretation oBlack Orcs and their origins, and all subsequentversions except the Gos o Warhammer 40,000

are based on Priestlys.

Te Black Orc Rebellion(s)Te ullest chronicle o the Black Orc Rebellionis given in White Dwar Presents: Chaos Dwars.Te Black Orcs as a race were created in -150I.C. by the Chaos Dwar Sorcerers, who hadbeen experimenting on Orc and Goblin slaves.However, the Black Orcs were too independent-minded to make good slaves; the result was aseries o armed revolts. Te actitious Greenskinswere too riven with animosity to start large-scalerebellions, but the disciplined and (relatively)organized Black Orcs would oten lead Orc andGoblin slaves into open revolution against theirChaos Dwar masters. Several Black Orc-ledarmies ravaged the lower levels o Zharr-Naggr-und, and in -100 I.C. the Chaos Dwars began acampaign to purge the lower levels and drive theBlack Orcs rom the city orever.

During the height o the largest and most savageo the Black Orc-led slave uprising, the ChaosDwar armies were nearly overcome. Te out-numbered Chaos Dwars were orced upward

level by level by their ormer Goblin, Hobgoblin,Orc and Black Orc slaves, to the very emple oHashut. Ten, the Hobgoblins turned againstthe other Greenskins. Te sudden and mo-mentous betrayal routed the slaves, and orevercemented the Hobgoblins treachery in Green-skin memory. Te Black Orcs were driven out oZharr-Naggrund and into the Dark Lands, sometowards the Mountains o Mourn to the East,and others to the Worlds Edge Mountains in theWest. Te Black Orc Rebellion was over.

Te Hobgoblins, or their aid, became the

www.chaos-dwarfs.com

avoredi not quite trustedoverseers o theChaos Dwars. Te enmity between Hobgoblinsand the Orcs & Goblins helps explain, rom anin-universe perspective, why Chaos Dwar armieselded Hobgoblins while Orcs & Goblins armiesdid not. Indeed, in White Dwar Presents: ChaosDwars, the other Greenskins want nothing to dowith leading a contingent o Hobgoblins!

Many o the routed Black Orcs were killed, but theChaos Dwars allowed some to escape and orgetribes, which the Chaos Dwars would occasionallyrecruit rom into their armieshence the reasonBlack Orcs could be seen in Chaos Dwar armies,rom 4th edition through Ravening Hordes. BlackOrc tribes still roam the Dark Lands, and occasion-ally members such as Morglum Necksnapper andGrimgor Ironhide and his Immortulz.

Uncanonicalbut Interesting!Te earliest Warhammer material generally as-sumes Goblins and Orcs breed the same way that

humans do, and so makes occasional mention ohal-orcs and the like (again, probably based onolkeins writings), and which explains in part theselective breeding practiced by the earliest BlackOrcs. However, when the transition was maderom Rogue rader (1987) to Warhammer 40,000,the Orksincluding the Black Orc analogues, theGoswere slowly molded into a more denablyalien race, with distinctly non-human methods oreproduction. Since this time, the general questiono how Warhammer Fantasy Greenskins reproduceis has not been addressed.

Te novels Heldenhammer (2008) and Te Lieo Sigmar (2005), trace the rise o Sigmar and theounding o the Empire, describes the Greenskininvasion o the Old World as driven by the BlackOrcs rom the Dark Lands. At least one Black OrcBoss that Sigmar aces wields a magical axe maderom obsidian and etched with runes. Te threat othe massive Orc invasion was what allowed Sigmarto unite the human tribes under his leadership, andhis rescue o a Dwar king rom the Orcs providedthe basis or the alliance o Men and Dwar. It ispossible that the Chaos Dwars, in putting down

the Black Orc Rebellion and driving the BlackOrcs into the Dark Lands i nadvertently set thestage or the Empire. O course, such speculationwithout conrmation is really non-canonical!

Many years ago a Frurndar warband of a smalloutpost at the Road of Skulls named DunKardrakk raided an ogre trade caravan. Besidethe normal loot they captured strange stonestatues which looked like an unusual kind oflions.

The Commander of the outpost sent for aFamiliar Sorcerer who should examine the lionstatues. The lions were no ordinary ones theywere Templedogs made in Cathay and theyowned a strong magic. After a quite long timethe Sorcerer managed to vitalize the Templedogsand to bless them in the name of Hashut the onlyone!

Later on the Clans own Daemonsmiths andSorcerers managed to create new Templedogs as

a source of power for the Frurndar Clan of DunKhardrakk.

The ruler of the outpost was able with the help ofthe Templedogs to repel an attack of a hugeKhorne marauder invasion force. Also a perilousGreenskin tribe near the city of Uzkulak wasdefeated and after the campaign a great amountof slaves could sacrificed. The small outpostgrew more and more and a mighty strongholdwas established.

appropriate to the rules being used. If used asmercenaries in any other army, they have nospecial rules except Ambush and those describedbelow.

Bloodthirsty Pirates: The Crew of the Bull'sFury are a band of ruthless sea-dogs, owingallegiance to no Lord of the Chaos Dwarfs orlord of anyone else for that matter. The unit maynot benefit from the army general's InspiringPresence rule, nor may they use the battle

standard bearer's Hold Your Ground rule.

Slavetakers: The Crew of the Bull's Fury willalways try to capture the enemy instead ofsimply cutting them down. The unit alwayspursues only 1D6" after winning a close combatas they stop to subdue and bind the fallen foe,but any unit caught in this manner is worthdouble victory points.

Plunder!: Hands's eyes light up at the sight ofstuff to nick especially enemy banners! If theCrew of the Bull's Fury slays an enemy standardbearer due to the Last Stand rule, they willcapture the banner and parade it aloft. For eachenemy standard stolen in this way, they gain +1combat resolution in subsequent combats; this isin addition to the +1 combat resolution forhaving their own standard. If the unit flees, anystandards seized in this way will be dropped. Inaddition, if they manage to loot a magic standardin this way, they will gain the benefit of it(assuming they are able to). Because Hands isalways looking for shiny new things to steal, theCrew of the Bull's Fury will only benefit fromthe last standard looted in this way (even if theeffect is worse!) and magic standards takenearlier in the battle will be discarded (it isassumed they are shuffled to the back of the unitand stowed away to be sold later). If Hands isslain, any benefits from a stolen magic standardare lost.

MAGIC ITEMS

Daemonscourge Pistols: Magic Weapon. Ghuzcarries a pair of matched pistols given to him as

payment by a Sorcerer for a particularly trickysea raid. They contain the bound essence of aDaemon, its soul magically torn in half and splitbetween the guns. They count as a brace ofpistols with Flaming Attacks.

GHUZ SLAVETAKER AND THE CREW OF THE BULL'S FURY

Though the Chaos Dwarfs' empire is essentiallylandlocked, they nonetheless have an infamoushistory of naval warfare. Their fearsome ironcladwarships are able to ply the seas of theWarhammer world thanks to the polluted RiverRuin that runs through their realm and sluicesinto the Sea of Dread, and the great sea tunnelthey carved centuries ago between the Falls ofDoom and Uzkulak that gives them access to theSea of Chaos. By such means they are able totravel across oceans and capture slaves fromnations that have never even heard the name ofthe Dawi'Zharr. But amongst the many piratecaptains that serve the Sorcerer Lords of Zharr-Naggrund, one name stands out: that of GhuzSlavetaker. Ghuz is unique in that he is bound tono single Sorcerer Lord. Instead, he has carvedout influence of his own as a mercenary captain,

serving in exchange for gold and slaves. He hasbeen allowed to continue to live outside ChaosDwarf society because he is so successful, soruthless and so completely cold-blooded in hisdealings.

As much as Zharr-Naggrund needs slaves topower its foul industry, Ghuz's ships' need is somuch more immediate after a particularlybloody sea battle, many of the s laves who toil inthe bowels of his vessels will have drowned, andGhuz will need to replace them with new slavestaken from the vanquished foe right away. Forthis reason, Ghuz and his crew are exemplars ofthe Chaos Dwarf ideals of greed, consumptionand the need for instant gratification. Ghuzhimself is short-sighted, boisterous and rude; a

vile, black-hearted pirate covered in ritual brandsand tattoos, face hung with piercings, fleshembedded with runic talismans, who is mostoften found at the prow of his flagship, TheBull's Fury, gesticulating wildly and bellowingangrily at his crew and slaves to bring him to theenemy faster.

His crew are a gang of scurvy sea-dogs, likewisetattooed and bedecked with daemonic totems. Ofparticular note is the first mate, known only asUzkulak Hands, a ruthless kleptomaniac who hasdeveloped a habit in recent years ofappropriating anything dropped by the victims ofThe Bull's Fury's crew as they are hauled off inchains, usually with a mind towards selling themfor his own profit his favourite prizes are thestandards and banners of conquered foes though,

and these he waves above his head in drunkenglee, unwittingly contributing to the erosion ofenemy morale. Ghuz has noticed this habit, andhe makes sure that Hands always shows upcarrying whatever flag he last stole, in lieu ofhaving an actual recognised standard for hiswarriors. When they appear on the battlefield atthe behest of a Chaos Dwarf Lord (or anotherunscrupulous employer...) the crew of The Bull'sFury advance to the accompaniment of BosunIgnatiuzh's bagpipes, joining in the cacophonywith their trademark pistols; they are quitedifferent from the usual stoic Chaos Dwarflegions and, one suspects, the envy of them too,for the crew of The Bull's Fury are everything aDwarf of Zharr'Naggrund longs to be, if only hecould be liberated from the strict bonds of hissociety.

They will never join a Dogs of War army if thereare any Dwarfs present. Although the unit is notconsidered Flammable (they keep their strongerspirits sealed up tightly until consumed),characters with Flaming Attacks are neverpermitted to join Thugman's Inebriated Brawlers,nor may any magical items or banners bebrought into the unit which would confer anymodel in the unit to with Flaming Attacks.

Sorcerers or other models who use magic fromthe Lore of Fire may never join the unit.

Inebriated Brawlers

Equipment: Hand weapon, heavy armour and aHefty Tankard.

Hefty Tankard: The large Tankards are massiveenough to serve as a shield. What's more, theBrawlers each begin battle with enough brew intheir hip flasks for one hearty drink (see Swig ofBrew special rule).

Special Rules: Bad Tempered, Stubborn, Swigof Brew

Thugman

Equipment: The Reclaimed, heavy armour,Grand Tankard.

The Reclaimed: Confers +1 Strength for each foein base contact with Thugman and he may alsore-roll any missed to hit rolls.

Grand Tankard: The Grand Tankard is massiveenough to serve as a shield. It grants Thugmanan armour save one higher than a normal shieldwould provide. The Grand Tankard also providesThugman with a 4+ ward save. Thugman beginsbattle with enough brew in his hip flask for onehearty drink (see Swig of Brew special rule).

Special Rules: Bad Tempered, Indefatigable,Next One's On Me!, Stubborn, Swig of Brew

Special Rules

Bad Tempered. Thugman's surly andcontemptuous Inebriated Brawlers have aparticularly short fuse and are ready to fight atthe drop of a hat. If there is an enemy model thatis an eligible target to charge during the DeclareCharges part of the Movement phase, the unit

must immediately pass a Leadership test ordeclare a charge if there is a choice of modelsto charge, then the controlling player may freelychoose between them.

Indefatigable. Thugmans charisma andunfaltering confidence are legendary (at leastafter he's had a few) and his wild drunken boastsand almost idiotic level of fearlessness areinfectious among his inebriated brethren inbattle. While Thugman lives, if his unit isengaged in close combat he becomesUnbreakable

THUGMANS INEBRIATED BRAWLERS

The Dawi Zharrs Guild of Brewmasters arerenown throughout the Dark Lands and beyond.Even within the faltering realm of the Dawi tothe West are the spirits from the Dark landsknown, although none of the Dawis scruffy-bearded ilk would ever speak of such a thing,much less imbibe any of the stuff. No DawiZharr forge, temple, training ground or home iswithout multiple casks of ale or bottles of spirits,all stamped with the iconic image of theWarhammer and Grand Tankard the mark ofthe Brewmasters guild.

The governing lord of the Brewmasters isThugman, a despicably cruel and calculatingindividual, when hes not drunk. Luckily for hisfellow Brewmaster brethren, Thugman is rarelysober. Thugman prefers to spend much of his

time at his remote Brewhouse, hiddensomewhere in the Mountains of Mourn.Although the region is plagued by Orc andGoblin tribes, Thugmans alliances with variousOgre tribes who are devoted to the beverages heconcocts affords a measure of protection, overand above the regiment of fifty warriors andcountless slaves personally assigned by the HighPriest to guard and maintain Thugmans brewingoperations.

Thugman and his guards presence are awelcome sight on the battlefield for all DawiZharr. Such is his importance to morale thatThugman has been ordered on many occasions toaccompany entire legions of troops as theymarch their slaves into battle. There, Thugmandispenses brew and spirits to his brethren aftertheir victory. Thugman rarely sits on thesidelines however, as both he and his personalguard have a reputation of drunken brawling andare often eager to wade into combat where they

can better channel their drunken rage.

Thugman and his inebriated, brawlingguardsmen often arrive for battle properly tankedand spoiling for a drag-out fight with anyone.Because of their close bonds of comradery,formed over many long nights drinking togetherin Thugmans Great Hall, their unbridledtempers and raging blood lust are always keenlyfocussed on the enemy. There has never been anincident of in-fighting among Thugmans ranksno matter how intoxicated they become.Thugman, however, has a particular dislike for

Sorcerers who use fire magic and he refuses toallow them to march with his men following anunfortunate mishap with one of his portabledistillation apparatuses many years ago.

Thugmans Inebriated Brawlers, as they areknown throughout the Dark Lands, arrive forbattle sporting hefty tankards that double assmall shields. Thugman marches with his meninto battle and carries the Grand Tankard, asymbolic artifact massive enough to serve as ashield and also identifies Thugman as Lord ofthe Guild of Brewmasters. Thugman alsobrandishes a mighty warhammer a powerfulartifact acquired by Thugman following a greatvictory at Karak Kadrin many years past. Howthe warhammer came to be in the hands of thescruffy-bearded catamites of Karak Kadrin isnt

known to his men, but Thugman insists that thewarhammer was rightfully his and ever since hehas referred it to as The Reclaimed.

Thugman and his personal guard weretemporarily banished from the Dark Lands fortheir failure to hold a critical outpost, althoughThugman was too drunk to recall the details. Inactual fact, Thugman and his men were toodrunk to fight and decided to rescue Thugmansportable Diabolical Still before the crushingdefeat. Thugmans recollection of the incidentremains foggy, but it is an episode the HighPriest reminds him of on the rare occasions thathe is summoned to the Temple of Hashut. Therehave also been occasions when Thugman hasbeen ordered to accompany temporary allies andtrading partners of the Dawi Zharr in order tosmooth over relations and ensure that theinterests of the imperium are secured. Thugmanand his men, as well as his portable DiabolicalStill of Spirits, have travelled the Dark Lands

many times over. In spite of his contributions tosuccesses on the battlefield Thugman prefers tospend his time building larger and moreelaborate distillation apparatuses andexperimenting with brewing technology in hissecluded Brewhouse. It is only at the directorder of the High Priest of Hashut that he willmarch into battle.

As for Thugmans secret to success? Thugman isa master brewer and has built many custom stil ls,distillation apparatuses and fermenters, the fullunderstanding of which is only known to

CHOSEN OF HASHUT

Since the earliest period of know Chaos Dwarfhistory mutations have affected their race. Manyof the believes mutations are easy to spot like theBull Centaurs, Bull Taurus and Lammasu. Theone least known of these mutations are theChosen of Hashut. Born with the mark of Hashuton their bodies they are believed to be taken atbirth and raised by the Priests of Hashut. Theyseem to have skin like armour and an ability todestroy all in their path. Many have reported thatarrows and weapons just bounce off or theirbodies with no effect other than to anger t hem.The main way to recognise the Chosen amongstthe warriors in a Chaos Dwarf army if that they

do not wear armour into battle.

No body of a Chosen has ever been found deadon the field of battle some have reported that if aChosen takes a mortal wound his body isenveloped in a bright light and disappears. Sincethese reports are from unreliable sources, fighterswhose minds have been lost from the magicunleashed during the battle. From what wegather from our spies and from reports from theOgres is that the Chosen believe that they cannotbe harmed by anything and if they do fall inbattle it is believed t hat it was Hashut's will topunish them for not being faithful.

Chosen of Hashut

Points: 5 Chosen of Hashut 70pts. May hireadditional Chosen at a cost of 14 points permodel.

Faithful: They are so strong in their faith thatthey will never back down from battle(Unbreakable) and will always chase down their

enemies that break before them.

Next One's On Me! Following combat,Thugman musters his men with promises ofgreat feasts and bottomless tankards of his finest.When resolving Combat Result Points followinga fight, add +1 to the combat result if the resultwould be a loss or tie. The bonus is not granted ifThugman's unit wins the combat.

Stop for a Pint First! Before arriving for battleThugman cracks open several kegs for his menand they get a little carried away. At the start ofthe deployment phase roll 2D6 on the followingtable before any player places their models:

1 A little too carried away.

Unfortunately the entire unit deploys a turn late.Deploy them as they would have been deployedduring the next Start of Turn sub-phase. If forany reason the unit cannot be placed they areconsidered destroyed and Victory Points shouldbe evenly divided among any opponents.

2 Lost a bet. The unit deploys a turnlate. They refuse to talk about the circumstancesbut they are really annoyed! The unit has Hatredfor their first round of close combat.

3 Drinking buddies! With the help ofsome spirits the unit makes friends with somelike-minded Dawi Zharr before battle and bringthem along! Add +1 Inebriated Brawler for every10 points spent on this ability.

4 Drunken metal state. A debate startedamong members of the unit, the point and topicof which has been forgotten, but they are still ina state of stern concentration, pondering deepirrational thoughts that border on insanity. Thisstrange and ponderous mental state, however,grants them Magic Resistance (1). Once a spellhas been cast on this unit, even if it was resistedor Dispelled, this ability is lost.

5 We were here drinking and got

started without ye! The unit is placed firstduring the deployment phase, before any otherplayers models, and they are treated as havingthe Vanguard special rule.

6 We acquired this trophy from, erm,

doesn't matter! Huzzah! It's Ours! Hail tothee, great spoil of victory! If there's a

standard bearer in the unit then this odd ill-gottentrophy dangles from the standard and adds afurther +1 to each combat resolution result.

Swig of Brew. Each model has a small personalflask, there is enough for each model in the unitto have a quaff. These effects are also passed onto any characters who may be in the unit at thetime the Swig of Brew is used (the InebriatedBrawlers are always happy to share with alliesand brethren). Roll a D6 on the following table:

1 Feint of the Still. Tastes like manfolkale. It has no effect.

2 Liquid Courage. The unit gainsFrenzy for the next round of close combat.

3 Hair of the Warhound. The unit gainsa 6+ Ward Save. Following the first hit to inflictdamage to any model this effect is los t.

Kazrin:Unbreakable, Immune to Psychology, Unhinged,Geno, Pyrocaster.

Chaos Slayer Axes: Chaos Slayers will comeacross all manner of weapons on their travels.They will lay about themselves with these mightytools, dealing death to all who oppose them.Chaos Slayer Axes are magical weapons that caneither be wielded one in each hand (counting astwo hand weapons), or two-handed (counting asa great weapon).

The entire unit must use the same weapons, andthey cannot swap weapons during a duel. Whilethe weapon is called an axe, it could just aseasily be a hammer, a halberd, a falx, a wailingdaemonic entity, or even just a sword.

KAZRIN IRONTUSKS CHAOS SLAYER BROTHERHOOD

A Dwarf who fails to fulfil an oath or loses hishonour will often take a Slayer oath and seek hisdeath against the greatest and most powerfulenemy he can find. Whilst the Chaos Dwarvesdo not quite share the legendary Dwarven senseof honour, sometimes they will find it necessaryto swear take the Slayer oath, although they donot cast off their armour and seek death in thesame way as their mountain descendants. Theymaintain the oath for eighty-eight years and thenrejoin the DawiZharr society, and they will everafter be quiet and brooding, although they regaina little of their former personality upon the fieldof battle. They retain their thick armour, but castaside their old weaponry in favour of pairedrunic axes that can cleave through almost anyarmour.

Often, a Chaos Slayer will swear revenge on anenemy that escaped them, and will bend all hisefforts to matching their fighting style. Theselegendary warriors are known as ChampionSlayers, and will often bear very specialisedweapons, such as Zhordor the Fearcauser, whowas wounded by a Wood Elf named IseldiValerin, and afterwards carried an enchantedspear made from the arms of a Dryad and the

blade of Valerins own broken sword, andsoaked in the bitter tears and blood of LordValerins slain family. Zhordor did slay Valerin,but then was killed by a mysterious eventinvolving a huge tree and a lot of Dwarvenblood.

In order to swear the oath, a Dwarf will have tofind the hidden lair of Kazrin Irontusk, the ChaosDwarf responsible for the oaths creation, deepwithin the Plain Of Zharr. They may have to waitfor years for Kazrins return, but he always will,for he has a rudimentary grasp of magic, and thatwhich he can use, he can manipulate more easilythan any Daemonsmith or Sorceror of the Plainof Zharr. Many tales tell of how he can teleportand summon flames and searing molten metalsto aid his many quests, and how he is followed

by a possessed childs doll known only as Genoeverywhere he goes.

Many of his slayers will fall in battle, but Kazrinhas never taken a step back from the enemy inhis life. He will stand at the forefront of battle,crushing his foes with his enchanted hammer,Haddakk Ghal, and returning life to his fallenslayers with a magical emerald green ring, sothat they may fulfil their eighty-eight year oaths.
